Ciauscolo

Ciauscolo is a variety of Italian salume, typical of the Marche region (especially in the province of Macerata), although it is also widely used in nearby Umbria (especially in the territory of Foligno and part of northern Valnerina). The word ciauscolo is related to the local dialectal word ciausculu, although which one derives from the other remains unclear. A possible origin for ciauscolo is the Medieval Latin word cibusculum, meaning 'small food'.[citation needed]
